Naw, dude. You just need to get the Metaphysical perk in your tech tree. Looks like he didn’t put any points in sneak or combat, so he may be minmaxing enough to get there.
@Drate: Well, a sketch card. Ally got it covered. I actually figured it out myself and then noticed Ed beating me to it. So I vented in cryptic comments. Probably more cryptic than the letter puzzle (which reminds me of the “dancing men” story).
Getting straight through to her without interception right on the first vigil? And in such garb? And chanting instead of killing (when killing was quite fine previously)? I suspect that this is a trainer.
If so, it would appear that he is paying dearly for misjudging his prospective student.
I’m guesing a third party. The Church wants to kill the mother and child, the All Saints want the child to be born but there must also be some other people who merely want to use the child for something else. That guy look a bit like a mummy but may only be a burn victim, his clothes thought are arabian (possibly egyptian?) in style, so maybe there is a muslim group in there? Or he is some king of mage/mystic.
Oh wait, tags. Cult member. Saskreet on google didn’t turn any information however.
“Saskreet” is likely a (parodic?) spelling of “Sanskrit” since the single-letter replacement cipher the cultist employs looks a bit like a Hebrew square letter version of Devanagari. Probably a D&D player.
well, he has a bandage to stop the bleeding… but will it help, I don’t see him walking way from this.
So, does the blood of gods grant +1 to lockpicking?
Lockpicking will hardly free us from the sins of the world I am afraid. You do not sound like a card-carrying member of the church.

Sounds like you deserve what you got coming to you. Enjoy!
What does he deserve, exactly?

Behold the might of the pen!

Still, nice reflexs on Maggie’s part.

Haha he would’ve needed to be faster, to be freed
This is a guess, but he’s saying: The Child In This Girl Dies Now.
No, he’s saying “the Blood of Gods will free me”
“us”, not “me”. Just nitpicking.
Sorry, knew it, just typed the wrong thing
My crypto skills are a bit rusty, but i got Kill as the next to last word.
I’m A little teapot short and stout,.,.,.,.,,.,.
It was interrupted ! 😀
